Read Your Local Paper.

The Printers circular contains the fol-
lowing sensible advice. The position Of
a county editor is not held in the esteem
it should be. country papers are not
respected as they ought to be. If q
family can afford only one paper, let
that be the home paper; for it concerns
a family more to know what is being
done in its own county than it does to
know the news of distant places. The
city paper cannot give, and does not
pretend to give the local news that its
country readers must have; but the
good country paper does give a very fair
epitome Of the worlds news.
No other publication can supply the
place of a good local paper. If both can
not be retained-if either the city
journal or country newspaper must 60,
let it be the former; for nothing can
supply the place of the local paper.

Death of John Fogarty.

A great many people in Centra-
liza will remember Mr.. Fogarty as
a former resident of that city.
While engaged as Section Boss on
the Wisconsin Valley Railroad he
became acquainted and married
Miss Henrietta Miller, daughter
of Mrs. A. E. Miller, of that city.
Shortly after their marriage they
moved to Strong, Kansas, where
he was taken sick and died on the
2oth Of November 1887, of pneu-
monia. He leaves a wife and five
children. This family have been
away about eight years. He was
a man highly thought of and re-
spected by all who knew him.
